It got hot

6/21/05

We were down in “Bahia Concepcion” as the heat wave started. In the sun, the temperature climbed well over 100F and the water is in the 89-90 F range. So we left the bay. Now we’re up in Santa Domingo which is at the enterance to the bay. The water here is about 5-10 degrees cooler, the humidity is down to about 50%, and the temperature is about 5-8 degrees cooler too.

Well, we got a small taste of what awaits us in the summer! Yikes. We’re going to have to work on making better sun shades for the deck and the aft part of the cockpit, and I’m going to have to finish my thermoelectric cooler to see if I can extend the life of our ice!
